Me by Anastasia Vodchenko 🐾 (Patreon)

We shot this series in Kyiv during a period when my health was severely deteriorating. In the middle of the shoot, I experienced an excruciating pain attack and had to inject myself with steroids and lidocaine directly into the nerves in my head and neck—right there in the studio bathroom 🙈😅 And then, I had to keep posing for another two hours straight. It was incredibly difficult. I remember that time as one of the most physically painful periods of my life, but I am grateful for it. It made me even stronger and showed me just how much I can endure.
